Don't Try This at Home.
That is my lawn mower blade. Cleaned with the road sand. That's what gave me the idea. It was dark with grass stain before I used it.
TJ, it's held on with a twisty . Come on!
HMM a used blender? Naw the blades are a problem. A rock polisher would work if you have a week.
Maybe I can bolt a bucket of sand to the hub cap of the truck. It would look kinda funny though.

Maybe try a vibrating rock polisher, much quicker than the rotating barrel type. And use crushed walnut shells. Just an idea.

You have a great sense of humor, Tman. :laugh:
Sand actually is an excellent way to clean parts. I use a little low pressure hand held sandblaster on model parts all the time. It's a great way to break the shiny surface glaze on black plastic parts, and makes them look just like metal.
The cab, flatbed, and trucks on this little old fashioned plastic Athern 25 ton crane have all been sandblasted and the natural surface is simply left unpainted...
